autmating send an email with a sharepoint document

I have been asked if it is possible to store a document in SharePointand automatically email it daily to an outside source. We are currentlyusing SharePoint 2003 sp2. If this is possible, how would it be done?

I think you would have to have some sort of event handler that fired after acertain timeframe that emailed the documents added today.Is there a reason why you wouldn't just add an alert and let the user log into see the daily documents added? If its due to external partners, you canstill create a log in for them and even create a separate library for dailydocuments added.

I am interested in Liz's question but for a slightly different reason.I would also like to set up some kind of daily agent that triggered analert, just as a way of checking the alerts are working (i.e no emailin the morning, alarm bells ring). Equally, we occasionally find thatWSS search stops working, it is easy to fix (rebuild the SQL full-textcatalogs in our case) but if there was an automated test each day thatwould be really helpful.

Do any admins out there have any 'widgets' that they find helpful fortests such as this? I suspect that what Eric said is right and theonly way to do it is event handlers and triggers and .net code but Idon't have those skills (although one day hopefully).
